Pinch to zoom not working properly in Safari 5.1

That worked for me as well, thanks!

Now I just have to remember why I had changed Safari to 32-bit mode in the first place.

Ah thanks, that worked for me too.

I think I had set it to 32 bit when I used Saft or some other Safari plug-in a while ago.

Thank you so much. Was getting really annoyed that the pinch wasn't working in safari. Fixed now 🙂

I've a similar problem. Pinch zoom works but after a while it'll stop working. This is on a new Macbook air with Lion and Safari 5.1. Only way to get it working again is restarting the computer. It's not in 32 bit mode already.

Thank goodness for Paganman.

I'm running a 2008 Macbook Pro and was bloody frustrated with the last update to Safari when I realised they'd taken away my pinch zoom.

For some reason web pages are microspoic on my laptop and I usually need to enlarge them somewhat.

I'm a bit worried about updating to Lion based on what I've been hearing so I'm very happy that all i needed to do was uncheck the 32 bit box in the get info page of Safari.

Not that I can remember ever checking that box in the first place!

In my case, after unchecking the 32bit box, which I'd never touched, pinch zoom started working for a while. Thought my problem was solved, and I was blaming some extensions I've recently installed (Safari Omnibar)

However, it just stops working after some random period of using Safari. Pinch zoom comes back most of the times if I reboot, but that's very annoying. The root cause seems to be somewhere else than running Safari in 32bit mode.

i cant find the "Get Info" in safari app..........

please!! who can help me here... (see below... no "Get Info)

Finder>Applications>Right click on Safari>Get Info :-)

I have the pinch/zoom problem as well (Lion 10.7.1 / Safari 5.1) same issue as Rvandick describes above... zoom on embedded videos zooms more than then main webpage making the embedded video unreadable

Most annoying... Any suggestions?

I've actually had a bit of luck using Command+ rather than the pinch zoom gesture for some things...keeps everything zoomed together. Command- to put it back.

I updated to Lion 7.1 and Safari 5.1 and pinch to zoom is still a bit erratic (sometimes it stops working and I have to reboot, and I dont have the "Open in 32 bit mode option checked").

The real issue that I'm having is that when I zoomed in on a tab in previous versions of Safari, every link opened in that respective tab would open at the same zoom in level. Now, when I open a tab and zoom in, I have to to zoom in again for every link I click on. It's very frustrating....

thanks for that! that's a good workaround for now!

Brilliant. Thanks, was worried my Magic Track Pad was gonna become a Magic Coaster already. 🙂
